I am reading Indexing still and while I like it, i am not sure what to think of Amazon's serial format. This is the 2nd book I have read this way and I am "eh" on it as structure.

The stories are pretty interesting to me though. I am in Episode 4.

I've been enjoying the episodes of Indexing, too. I definitely want the rest of the story. I do wonder ell the authors get paid like this in comparison to more usual ways of publishing. And I sort of like the connection to serialized stories from early last century.

Indexing is great. It does get more serialized later and shit is currently quite real.

The thing I don't like is the beginning of each episode is repetitious. Character details that have been thoroughly explained in previous episodes. In a novel they would be stripped out altogether. I guess if this were tv though, this would be necessary.

Wolf Hall, The Light Between Oceans, The Forgotten Garden, The Little Friend, Dark Places, A Discovery of Witches,

Amy, I am with lisah on Wolf Hall. DAMN that book is amazing. Even when you know exactly, historically, how everything turns out, it's page turning. Hilary Mantel kicks ass.

I did not like The Light Between Oceans. Read half and then abandoned.

I totally enjoyed Discovery of Witches. It's pretty fluffy and easy to get through. nothing deep.

Actually, The Little Friend sort of hooked me last night. I also reread the first few pages of The Book Thief, so I need to decide.

The Light Between Oceans does seem sort of slow-going. Which was the problem I had with The Snow Child (still unfinished) -- it was simply taking forever to get anywhere.

I'm just waiting for the next Skulduggery Pleasant book (Last Stand of Dead Men) to show up on my doorstep. I should have it Wednesday.

Mine came today. Yay! If only I could say "screw work" and curl up reading for the next few days.

I like the kindle serials a lot! I always liked serials in magazines and, you know, episodic TV is pretty much my thing, so no surprise that the format works for me.

Indexing is a wee bit repetitive, but I figure that's mostly a matter of Seanan figuring out the form. I haven't found it too obstrusive reading the episodes as they are released. My only complaint is that Goosebury Bluff ended and I didn't really realize it. I spent a good month wondering why I wasn't getting notices for new episodes before looking it up on Amazon to find out it's now available as a complete book. It's not even a bad ending, climactic stuff happened and all, it just could easily continue and I assumed it would (I am still assuming there will be sequels or whatever because I have many unanswered questions...)

So jealous! Although my editing test for the AMA is due tomorrow, so I couldn't read LSoDM tonight even if I had it. But it had better arrive tomorrow, because it's my reward for those 2 tough editing tests.

Tep, did you get The Maleficent Seven (Tanith Low!) also? I'm a bit torn as to which to read first...

The serials are a bit repetitive because each installment has to be able to stand alone. She does the same thing in the Velveteen stories, which are fantastic superhero fiction.
